LeCun用两段话讲清研发边界
Yann LeCun在推文中区分工程师与科学家的核心差异:工程师解决问题时尝试多种方案,达到“足够好”即停止,目标是产品创新和交付;科学家提出新问题、比较方案并撰写发表,方法论需严谨,目标是科学突破与技术进展。他强调两者可兼具,且多数产品创新建立在2、5、10或20年前的科技突破之上。

Major difference in my mind: - an engineer, given a problem, invents and tries multiple solutions and stops when the solution is good enough. The goal is product innovation and shipping. - a scientist asks new questions, proposes various new solutions, compares them (sometimes with old ones), and writes about it. The methodology must be sound or else peers will sneer. The goal is scientific breakthroughs and technological progress. Both can be called "researchers". Many people can do both: these are activities, not identities. Importantly, most product innovations are built on scientific breakthroughs and technological innovations that happened 2, 5, 10, or 20 years earlier. 💬 73 🔄 189 ❤️ 2168 👀 116612 📊 318 ⚡
